I'm at a crossroads. My 6 yr. old son is a very smart outgoing boy that is well mannered at school, but not so well mannered at home. He's the only child and in the last 2 years he has had to be yelled at to get something done. We live with my Mom and have been since he was born. She really dislikes when I have to discipline my son and she tries to step in and figure out ways to make him not cry. This, I think, is hindering him. I want to be more strict with him because he's really becoming one of those children that whines, complains and talks back about everything. He never does a task the 1st time I ask. I think it's because he's gotten used to being asked 3 and 4 times and I need to put an end to that. It's making getting up in the morning very stressful. Of course, after any of these arguments, my son is perfectly fine and dandy and my Mom and I are very upset.
